Okay, so I will track that on my own. Though I'm a bit confused then by
what clang is emitted for packed C structures. It appears an "int*" is
always loaded with "align 8" regardless of where it comes from. I know C
says you have to be responsible for your own alignment, so is this
result from clang correct?
